Open Data by BeautifulOpen standards for trusted representation.
Information locked inside proprietary systems limits both people and AI. Open Data develops open, machine-readable standards that allow trusted representatives, human and AI, to act safely and in people's best interests.
Principles
The standards and the reference code are public and forkable from day one.
Built for representatives, human and AI, to parse and act on directly.
Claims carry evidence, so a consumer can grade trust instead of assuming it.
Nothing here depends on Beautiful staying online.
New domains add vocabulary, never a new kind of primitive.
No standard favours the company that wrote the first draft.
Ownership is designed to move outward as adoption grows.
Standards
- Identity Open DataDraft
A machine-readable representation of a profile: who a representative is, and how to check it.
- Network Open DataDraft
A machine-readable representation of relationships between profiles.
- Residential Open DataDraft
A machine-readable representation of renting and letting representation relationships.
- Work Open DataDraft
A machine-readable representation of roles, skills and working relationships.
- Cars Open DataDraft
A machine-readable representation of vehicles and who is authorised to act for them.
Reference implementations
- Beautiful ProfileIdentity Open Data, Network Open Data
Hosts and renders a person's signed profile and relationships, addressed by DID rather than a Beautiful-issued name.
- RentifulResidential Open Data
A rental product that consumes Residential Open Data to represent renters, landlords and letting agents.
- Future examplesWork Open Data, Cars Open Data
No reference implementation yet. These standards are drafts without a consuming product.
Governance
- Today
Beautiful is the initial custodian: drafting the standards and running the only reference implementations.
- Tomorrow
As adoption grows, decisions move to a community process open to every participant, not just Beautiful.
- Future
Open Data becomes independent infrastructure that can outlive any single company, Beautiful included.
